Chris Stark
Chris Stark was Scott Mills' co-host on BBC Radio 1 from 2012 to 2022. He was discovered DJing in Southampton, and became half of one of Radio 1's best-loved double acts until the pair's final show in August 2022. He now co-presents Capital Breakfast with Jordan North and Sian Welby. Here's every show and moment we've written up featuring Chris.

Jack & Jack played 10 Seconds To, while listeners transformed their genuine fears into absurd “sexy” Halloween costumes including sexy buttons, sexy daddy long legs and a sexy undercooked pasty. [...]
With Chris 24 hours into his Instagram break, listener Helen offered to help turn the show’s perfume idea into a real fragrance and introduced the possibility of working with a professional “nose”. [...]

Listener Sophie complained that celebrity perfumes were already filling Christmas advertising, prompting Chris to decide that Scott and Chris needed a fragrance of their own and listeners began designing the smell. [...]
